The 'proposed solution's tramples on a fundamentally more important right.
- nuerow 5y agoWhy do you feel that the right to own a gun is "fundamentally more important" than the right to live your life without the risk of being gunned down?
- iammisc 5y agoBecause all life has risk, and the purpose of government is not to eliminate all risk to life. Such a government would be immensely awful. Gun ownership, self defense, and most importantly, the maintenance of real armed power in the population at large discourages a worse outcome, than the loss of any particular life.
